Questions for Romney: 1.) How can you possibly have $3 million in an IRA when ordinary citizens may save no more than $2,000 a year? 2.) What is a "retroactive retirement"? How does one post-date a resignation after bringing home an anuual salary of $100,000 for three years? 3.) John Kerry's wife -- who, by the way, _wasn'_t the Democratic candidate in 2004 -- actually DID provide tax returns. Why are you lying about her? 4.) Why did John McCain decide to go with Sarah Palin as his VP pick immediately after reviewing the 20 years worth of tax returns you'd provided for him in 2008? 5.) If 20 years worth of tax returns were easily accessible to you in '08, why are they so hard to come by now?
Great questions! Good luck trying to get them answered One thing that has come out is that McCain's former campaign manager said that they didn't choose mittens because he is too rich! They thought that after McCain has been criticized because of owning so many houses that it would look bad to have a ticket that owned over 10 houses between them ...they guessed right except Palin well what was their excuse for her

Sarah Palin might as well be yesterday's newspaper as far as the GOP is concerned. She hasn't even been invited to the Republican convention yet, and I doubt that Willard will invite her ever. Anyone that ever contributed $ to her is a fool. That chick wasn't EVER going to run for office. She squeezed that shell-game for all its worth as long as she could, as early as late last year with that whole "I've got a fire in my belly" b.s. to give the false impression that she was still considering running. Looks like she can go back to dating NBA players on the sly and doing blow.

On second thought: If she had actually run for office and was miraculously elected, she would be a problem for only about, say, ...oh...a year-and-a-half? http://0.tqn.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/n/x/2/palin-american-quitter.jpg

One more good'un: 6.) Hey, Willard: How many years of tax records are you requiring your VP contenders to present to you?

Looks like Willard Romney outsourced jobs even after his supposed departure from Bain (Vulture) Capital. He outsourced the manufacturing of the uniforms for the Olympics! Romney's Olympic Uniforms Were Made in Burma: "When Romney was running the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, production of more than 10,000 torchbearer uniforms was outsourced to Burma. The Southeast Asian nation was being ruled by a brutal military junta at the time, and the decision to make the uniforms there caused an outcry among trade bodies, human rights groups?and some of the torchbearers." http://www.newser.com/story/150246/romneys-olympic-uniforms-were-made-in-burma.html

Some in the USA (and outside) may want a reliable poll about the elections. Some in Europe (and out of Europe) may want reliable forecast about what will happen with the Euro. I don't know if this is reliable or not, but they better do it well cause they risk their money. It's William Hill's bets about politics Obama is 1/2 and Romney is 13/8 that means they think Obama is 65% likely to win and Romney is like 35% likely to win or so... Greece to withdraw the euro by end of 2012 Yes is 2/1 and No 4/11 kind of Yes is likely 70 % and No is likely 30 %

Is mittens a crook : Could be. He certainly won't prove he isn't by releasing his tax returns.
Years for which mittens and President Obama have released their tax forms. http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k532/jakecutter/?action=view¤t=obama-tax-tweet.jpg -

According to McCain's oppositional research on mittens when he was being vetted for VP. Mittens & Bain had huge profits from medicare fraud from a company called Damon Clinical. Looks really bad http://namelessgenxer.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/all_the_dirt_on_romney.pdf
1988: Damon begins a systemic practice of fraud. The government estimates later that the total cost to taxpayers of this fraud is around $40,000,000 1990: Bain Capital (CEO Mitt Romney) buys a minority stake in Damon. Mitt takes a seat on the board of directors 1990 to 1993: Mitt serves on the board of directors, earning ~$10,000 per year for doing so. He is on the company's "Strategic Planning" committee 1992: Romney said that [Damon?s then-CEO Robert] Rosen told the board in about 1992 ?that all current practices at the company were now in conformity with government regulations and that in the past there may have been practices which would not be deemed appropriate. 1993: Damon is taken over by Corning, with Mitt Romney voting in favor of the acquisition 1993: Corning immediately closes Damon's Massachusetts plant and lays off 115 workers 1993: Corning uncovers the fraud and alerts authorities. The SEC filings made by Damon prior to the acquisition make no mention of any potential earnings write-downs or legal problems 1993: Mitt Romney's share of Bain's profit from the Damon investment: $473,000 1993: Bain's profit from its investment in Damon: $7,400,000, which represented a tripling of the initial investment 1994: Running for Senator, Mitt Romney says: I?m proud of the small part I played in the growth of Damon,? Romney said yesterday. ?It?s something that Ted Kennedy doesn?t have a clue about ? creating real jobs in the private sector. 2002: While running for governor, Romney claims that he helped uncover the fraud by starting an investigation. This version of events is disputed by Corning and by the Federal Prosecutors. Mitt also says he never alerted the authorities, which no one disputes.
mittens looks to be a white collar crook

"It's the economy stupid", and those words of former President Clinton still thunder & shake! And it's the economy the current President wants to ignore or at least wants to sidetrack our attention from. Mr. Fix It didn't, fix it. It should have been his first priority and it really was not. He should be judged accordingly. And didn't he say if it (the economy) wasn't better in 4 years that he should not be re-elected???!!! The majority of America is in drought. The little bit of rain we had will not be enough to save billions of dollars worth of crops. Likewise we have had a severe drought in Presidential leadership. We need change, and change now

You do realize that the drought is caused by climate change..right : Really do you think the rethugs & tricky mitt are up to doing something about that : They don't believe it it

The ultimate contradiction of traditionalists is having "Change" as their slogan.

We can't drive the bus back into the ditch You guys are just saying that we didn't fix your mess up fast enough Really what would mittens do differently from bush : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

It boggles the mind that Obama and Romney are still polling so closely, depending on which one you wanna believe. -27 consecutive months of job-growth. -Saved the auto-industry. -He has required the banking industry to keep a $150 billion reserve -- because we will not be bailing them out again. -Gave the order that led to killing Bin Laden. And on and on and on and on. With all the GOP obstruction, it's a wonder we're above water. Romney is a certifiable sociopath, an entitled, arrogant, pathological lying, anti-American, out-of-touch robot. Obama should be CREAMIN' the guy in the polls -- rather than these +2 point leads. Thank God he's comfortably ahead in the electoral college numbers -- and that's what matters.

Yes, the President has a comfortable lead in State polls...would be extremely difficult for a repub. to win.

I'll add that the talking heads are saying that it's usually not until the last month or so before we see larger leads. By the way: I'm hearing that Ann Romney didn't come off too well in her Good Morning America interview this morning, reiterating that the public doesn't need to see anymore tax records than what's already been furnished. Not a good thing -- considering that the one tax return released is incomplete. Something is clearly being hidden. Even Mississippi's Haley Barbour is calling on Romney to honor the tradition of furnishing tax records -- does it get more Tea Party than that guy???????? The sense of entitlement of this family is stunning.

Considering that he has about eight years of Bush f-ckups to un-f-ck, I'd say Obama's right on track -- considering the unprecedented amount of GOP filibusters. Which your side seems to never, ever acknowledge.

It was an analogy - but maybe only other readers will agree. I repeat, " ... we have had a severe drought in Presidential leadership. We need change, and change now!" And following your scientific brilliance I suppose the droughts in the 1930's and 1950's were also due to climate change? But rather than be side tracked - political change of leadership in Washington, DC is what we now need Since you like to insult by name anyone who disagres with you - shall we call Barack Obama, B.O.???? His leadership and/or sleezership does stink ... Sally, I'm only following your lead ...
